Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be x

Four times a number reduced by 5 equals to 21.

Four times the number x, will be 4x, reduced by 5, it will be 4x - 5

4x - 5 = 21

4x = 21 + 5

4x = 26

x = 26/4

x = 6.5

The number is 6.5

Answer the number is 6.5

Now checking correctness of answer by following the statement

4 × 6.5 - 5 = 21

26 - 5 = 21

21 = 21

Means answer is correct.
